Review on the Elephant Man

Ii liked the movie overall but there were some things i found very disturbing,like how the director used the story that bytes said why he was the way he was born because an Elephant struck down his mom at 4 months pregnant but in reality she was raped and uses elephants to symbolize that or when the night porter brings all the people and that old gross man starts kissing the girls. I felt sorry for John the way he was being torture and how they were torturing the girl to kiss John Merick . It wasn't a sight to see. I like how they portrays how gentle and loving John Merick is even though he is treated badly , you would expect the opposite a bitter angry man but he is also educated but hasn't been exposed to the finder things in life. The ending of John Merick's life was a tragedy but all he wanted to do was feel normal. I think this is a real eye opener for us as a society and many times we act  a certain way because of stuff that has happened to us in the past but how can a man like John Merick that would be beat , humiliated , seen as an animal and still be able to treat people with such kindness. Now a days people see doctor for example : Most bullies have been bullied before . But even though John Merick was bullied his whole life anyone that excepted him he accepted with his whole heart.
